After receiving comments from several people, I have updated the
Debian Policy for Ada. I deem it to be worthy of an official First
Edition. This does not however mean that I will not accept any more
comments or contributions; these are always welcome. Compared to
Draft 4, here are the changes:
Introduction:
* More contributors acknowdleged.
Choosing the GNAT compiler:
* New section: "History of GNAT".
* GNAT Pro: described the test suite used at ACT.
* GNAT Public releases: referred to the test suite.
* Timeline of GNAT Pro releases: mention the "wavefront" releases.
* Timeline of FSF releases: GCC 3.4.1 released.
* GLADE CVS repository at ACT-Europe mentioned.
* Ada 2005 features in GCC 3.4.
Policy for libraries:
* Turn the chapter into one node per section.
* New section: "Building libraries for reuse".
* New section: "Mandatory files provided by the -dev package", contains
the former sections about source, object, *.ali, and library files,
now in subsections.
* Mention recently added support for *.ali files in lintian, linda and
dh_fixperms.
* Replace @code{} with @file{} in many places.
* Section "Shared libraries" renamed to "Files provided by the shared
library package".
The Debian Policy for Ada is on my web site in HTML[1] and Texinfo[2]
formats. In addition, I intend to upload it to Debian if my sponsor
agrees. This means that it will be available a Debian package named
debian-ada-policy. This package will include the document in Info,
ASCII and PDF formats in addition to HTML and Texinfo source.

I read a little out of curiosity and stumbled on three typos:
"althouth"
"sraightforward"
"is is" ("it is")

A minor note.
In a recent message on the gcc mailing list:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-07/msg00277.html
Robert Dewar made the request: "please don't abbreviate AdaCore as ACT,
thanks"
Personally I'm used to calling them ACT, but will try to shift to using
AdaCore.

Hmm, then I can't help wondering why they chose a name like "ACT Europe"
for the Paris office.

That just happened to have come before we decided to use "AdaCore" to
designate both the European and US contingents.
